Part 804p – Smith Groh Genealogy – 1866 Baptism and Death – Louis Ligroi Parisé – Port Daniel, Bonaventure, Québec, Canada

Good Day,

And sometimes I become quite bored with my writing and researching and searching of genealogy. At times I not sure if I am really accomplishing anything… But then again at other times I know that I am, all-things-being-equal, on the right trail to discover the misplaced secrets of ancestors. And today is one of those days that I do not feel like writing. But I know I've got to keep jotting down the results of my search and research.

According to Natalie Goldberg, in her book “Writing Down the Bones” she writes “What does matter is that whatever amount of time you choose, (to write), for that session, you must commit yourself to it and for that full period:

1. Keep your hand moving. (In my case my fingers on the keyboard.)

2. Don’t cross out.

3. Don’t worry about spelling, punctuation, grammar.

4. Lose control.

5. Don’t think. Don’t get logical.

6. Go for the jugular.

Obviously these rules are not applicable to the final writing but they do certainly help when I commit myself and start to write.

Well here I go with the next installment of my search and research of the Parisé Family Line. My question in my previous post, Part 803p, was “Did gggg-grandfather Timothée Parisé and his first wife Julienne (née Chapados) have a child during their short time of marriage?” And the answer is yes. They did have a son, Louis Ligroi Parisé, who was born 29 June 1866. Louis Ligroi Parisé would have been CK’s half-ggg-granduncle.

I also discovered that Louis Ligroi Parisé passed way, in Port Daniel, Quebec, shortly after his birth on 15 August 1866. He would have been a month-and-a-half old.

A sad occasion and succession of events, gggg-grandfather Timothée Parisé lost his young wife, Julienne (née Chapados) after not even one year of marriage. Subsequently one month later his only and very young son Louis Ligroi passes away. Two heartbreaks, one right after another, when gggg-grandfather Timothée was just about 27 years old.

A year later, on 20 August 1867 gggg-grandfather Timothée Parisé marries gggg-grandmother Catherine (née Grenier). See Part 800gp.

Stay tuned for what comes next.

Enjoy,
